Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If there was a formal defect in the indictment, the question was not raised before or during the trial. If constitutional requirements are not met then a verdict of guilty does not cure the defect. Nor will a verdict cure a defective indictment which fails, by any construction, to state an offense. [T]he appellant- is also precluded from relief because habeas corpus can not be invoked for relief against defective indictments unless it clearly appears that, under no' circumstances, could a valid conviction result from facts provable under the indictment.”
